oberon, horatio, cressida!
OBERON: Does reputation matter to you?
well i take my job as the group clown EXTREMELY seriously and im pretty sure im killing it
HORATIO: Who do you love most?
iiiiii am gonna try to go through answering this without putting my whole foot into my mouth and being silly or weird OR getting too serious on tumblr dot com.... unless? haha
if were being real, nothing about my life would matter a single thing if it werent for my friends. my fingers on one hand are too many to count the number of times something good happened from me being alive before they came along
i am so constantly shamelessly grateful to the series of events that made me a part of nocts daily routine, and led me to be right here, right now, sharing campfire fancy cuisine and game night with my three favorite people in the world
iggy might look distant and almost robotic to someone watching from the outside, but hes one of the kindest people ive met. he rearranges everything around us so that even the hardest quests seem manageable, we just need to follow along, connecting the dots to this master plan he always has, always looking out for us
gladio is just a big dummy dude, but hes also fiercely devoted and for all the times he grumps about us millenials these days, we know nothing can ever hurt us when hes around
and noct...
well, noct was the first person who ever truly... saw me. i had no concept of what it meant to be a positive thing in someones life until the first time i made him laugh. he might be quiet and he sure does love sleeping and enjoying the finer peaceful things in life, but those are just things that help you appreciate the world through his eyes in all its simple beauty even better, and even when were just sitting together without saying a word, ive never felt more fundamentally understood, or validated in my existence, more connected to this... gorgeous world worth fighting for and protecting
being alive matters, because it means i get to spend another day running away from behemoths with him, or taking snapshots of his dumb sleepy face in the backseat, or playing rock paper scissors all three to decide who has to go get water when we camp, or watching him catch this gigantic fish with just the brightest grin on his face
being alive matters, because it gives me more chances, more practice, more wisdom... to try and give all of these feelings, all of these good things back to him. make it all worth it
... i forgot what i was even trying to answer here. im sure you can get it between the lines though
CRESSIDA: What makes you feel trapped?
aside from literal dungeons crawling with baddies and inconvenient locked doors?
i dont know, everyone has stuff that theyre trying to deal with, right?? i dont know if ill ever earn my right to be free of feeling trapped or. less, but as long as it doesnt hurt my friends, thats all that matters

"Intentional Growth" by Christopher Pogue
The following is a guest post by my good friend Christopher Pogue. Chris currently serves as the Head of Strategic Alliances for Nuix. Nuix is an international company that specializes in “. . . transforming massive amounts of messy data. . . into searchable, contextualized information.”
My first thought upon being promoted into the executive ranks was, “Dear Lord, don’t let me screw this up.” I had been a US Army Warrant Officer and mid-level leader at several different companies but this was my first foray into the world of investor and board meetings, multi-million-dollar P&L sheets and being part of the decision-making processes that would impact close to 500 employees and their families. It was a sobering realization and one that I took very seriously.
The reason for my heightened level of awareness, was that I came to the understanding that my individual prowess was no longer the mechanism I would be using to measure success; I was no longer an individual contributor, I was a leader. I could not succeed unless my team succeeded. If I failed, I failed them – their wives and husbands, sons and daughters. It was their dreams I allowed to die, their hopes that would go unfulfilled, their futures that would be impacted.
We have been engaging in commerce on this planet for close to 10,000 years. To think that your experience alone is sufficient to equip you to be successful is hubris. There are men and women that have come before us and learned the hard lessons of collaboration and isolation, of success and failure, of triumph and defeat. As leaders, it is incumbent upon us to learn from as many of these sources as we can, to extract the wisdom of their experiences and to morph them for use in our organizations. Otherwise I believe we are derelict in our duties and unworthy to carry the mantle of leadership.
I never wanted to put myself in a position to fail my team and their families due to a lack of preparedness or knowledge. So, I began to read. I started small with a concrete, attainable goal, read a business-related book, for one hour, every morning. I sacrificed an hour of sleep at the altar of knowledge, waking up at 5:00 AM and dedicating that time to studying the business leaders that came before me. By disciplining myself to make incremental progress every day, one day turned into two, two turned into 30 and 30 turned into 1,000. Now, for more than three years, I have been reading for no less that one hour per day, I enjoy it so much that most days I read more, sacrificing TV watching time for more time to study. That’s roughly 1,100 hours or just over 45 days of reading. After finishing the book I am currently reading (I’m on my last chapter), that will make 122 in the past three years.
I have read books on sales, finance and accounting, strategic partnership, leading organizations, negotiations, and reading body language. I have read the biographies of great leaders like Benjamin Franklin and Winston Churchill, and titans of industry like John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. I have read about military generals from Sun Tzu to James Mattis, and entrepreneurs like Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey and Joanna Gaines. Each and every book I’ve read has taught me something about myself, about the people I lead, the people I work with, partner with, and sell to. I have taken their experiences, their genius, and woven them into my own approach to the way I work.
If you carry the mantle of leadership, don’t leave your success to limits of your own personal experience or perspectives. Read. Read a lot. Your team and their families are depending on you.
